Go away.
This kind of repetitive posting and spreading of opinions is what causes panic, depression and worse. You should be ashamed.
Go away.

Everyone new is suspect. Everyone new is not to be trusted. The stress must be making you paranoid. Perhaps it’s time you took a break, my friend.
People join these forums in difficult times to try to get any bit of information they can and try to make sense of all the madness. As for all the posts this morning , I’ll admit I overdid it a bit. An overactive mind and a shelter in place order tend to do that. I apologize if I offended you with my new guy sensibilities.
I’m off to Target this morning. Food and toilet paper running low. Good luck to all.

Not sure I am believing their data. They just kicked US reporters out.
Trust China ? not me

For Diamond Princess, there was 100% testing; a perfect control group. And everyone was likely exposed to the virus through the ship's air conditioning system.
17% infection rate. 0.5% mortality rate.
And the ages of passengers leaned heavily toward senior citizens so real world numbers are likely lower.
South Korea has done extensive (but not complete) coronavirus testing and has a 0.6% mortality rate.
Just because Italy has a lot of cases doesn't mean that will be replicated; I love Italy but there are a lot of old people and a lot of smokers there. Given the degree of sloth in Italy, I don't believe the hype that they've got a great health care system.

wasnt you that said 50% of the seniority better brace for furloughs ?
I guess you are 49.9% of the seniority
I am willing to work for 50 hrs of pay every month so everyone stays in the property. Are you ? Or you feel safe been 49%
BTW I am 38%

The damage from this will come from the impact on the global economy as a response to the virus, not the actual virus. We could go to zero cases globally in a month, but the recovery could be slow. People all over the world have sunk their life savings into small businesses and restaurants. Many cannot go a month with little or no sales and will not be back. It will take time for others to enter the market and replace those jobs. Looking selfishly at our industry, there will likely be far fewer people coming out of this in a financial position to travel even if the fear is gone. We’re far enough down the rabbit hole now that it doesn’t really matter if the response was justified or hyped up panic. The damage is done.
